To people that were driving 20 years ago and are now, it was pretty obvious without any statistics that something was wrong, for several years now. 25 years ago, I couldn't drive 500 km in summer without scraping off a thick crust of dead bugs on my windshield afterwards (it was even common to stop just for that). In the past few years, I've driven thousands of km across Europe in summer with barely a dead bug on my windows.

- arekkas 9y agoI made a road trip this year from Germany to France to Spain to Gibraltar and back (~8.000 km) and had at most one or two bugs on the windshields every couple of days. I am 28 and thought this is normal, but it's so obvious that it isn't.
